After inking a deal with OpenAI, French telecom giant Orange is now set to deploy AI models for translating African languages—helping people across the continent communicate in their native tongues.
Orange, operating in 18 African countries, secured access to OpenAI’s advanced models through a partnership signed last year.
This week, OpenAI unveiled two new models, highlighting their ability to perform “advanced problem-solving” and offering organizations the flexibility to “run and customize AI on their own infrastructure.”
Orange will integrate the models into its platforms to enhance local language communication and eventually plans to make its tailored AI tools freely available for governments to adapt for public services.
